Five losers from the small town of Maaskantje all lose their jobs at once — they blame the crisis, but it’s really their own fault. They immediately blow their social benefits on beer and gas. When the authorities refuse to increase their support, they’re left with only one solution: never pay for anything ever again... The film is based on a cult TV series that was so popular the Maaskantje town sign had to be replaced regularly because fans kept stealing it. The film broke box office records and made it into the Top 20 most popular Dutch films of all time.
